When you disconnect, zone out and remove yourself from the present moment, this is a survival response.
At some point in your life, it wasn’t safe to be fully present in your body, so you drifted into the realm of your mind.
But staying up in your head keeps you disconnected from the now.
It numbs you out, not just from the painful stuff, but from the good stuff too.
When you shut down sensation to avoid pain, you also shut down joy, intimacy, creativity, pleasure and connection.
Living in your head has been brilliant armour. It protected you. It helped you handle whatever you were facing at the time.
But if your body no longer feels like home, the work isn’t to force yourself to be present.
The work is to gently teach your nervous system that it’s safe to return to sensation, to feeling, and eventually, to presence.
You deserve to feel at home inside yourself ❤️
